ITV News hears from women who say they have suffered an adverse reaction to so-called liquid Brazilian Butt Lift treatments with physical and mental side-effects.

Bonnie-Louise Cooper says she was rushed to hospital in an ambulance after collapsing at home following her liquid BBL booked through Lift Aesthetics. She explained that doctors told her she had contracted the life-threatening reaction to infection, sepsis, and told her: “If your sister hadn’t called the ambulance when she did, you would have been dead within the hour”.

The practitioner at the beauty clinic in Essex, that boasts the likes of Katie Price and reality TV stars Hannah Elizabeth and Dani Imbert among their clients, did not respond when approached for comment.

00:00 I feel like I've been medically abused.
00:02 I could literally get my side and just go like this
00:05 and stuff would come out, would squeeze out,
00:07 like, after about six months.
00:08 I certainly would not be going ahead with any more treatments.
00:11 It came up in blisters.
00:13 They then started to pop, like, all the filler was coming out,
00:16 blood, it was terrible.
00:17 They took me for surgery,
00:21 scooped some of the skin away.
00:23 The doctors come into my room and just basically said,
00:26 "Look, you're really poorly, you've got sepsis."
00:29 "Had your sister not have called the ambulance when she did,
00:34 "she said you could have died within the hour."
00:37 The procedure itself was really painful
00:40 and it was all a very rushed process.
00:42 There was not really much talking.
00:44 I was very nervous, very scared.
00:46 I didn't really ask what I probably should have asked
00:48 or what he probably should have explained to me.
00:51 I had no...no welfare towards me.
00:55 I don't think it should be allowed, the whole thing.
00:57 And I think when something's as serious as, you know,
01:01 contracting sepsis and having forever scarring,
01:05 you're messing with people's lives.
